ILGO: Irish Lesbian and Gay Organization
Curated and donated by the ILGO

This exhibit was donated to the Lesbian Herstory Archives
by the ILGO. It tells the story of ILGO’s earliest days
and its ongoing struggle starting in 1991 for full inclusion
as out proud lesbians and gays in New York City’s largest
St Patrick’s Day Parade down Manhattan’s Fifth
Avenue. A presentation of articles and photos from NYC’s
tabloid press reveals the courage of ILGO members and their
supporters as well as the vehemence of the negative response
from traditional parade organizers. And this struggle for
full inclusion continues for all of us.
